Trump Strips Hunter Biden’s Gravy Train

You’ve got to give it to Trump—he doesn’t mess around when it’s time to clean house. On Monday night, he took to Truth Social and announced he’s yanking Hunter Biden’s Secret Service protection, effective immediately, because the American taxpayer’s been footing the bill for this guy’s nonsense long enough. Conservatives everywhere are raising a glass because it’s about time somebody shut down this gravy train.

Here’s how it went down, and it’s a doozy worth talking about. Trump posted, “Hunter Biden has had Secret Service protection for an extended period of time, all paid for by the United States Taxpayer,” and then dropped the hammer: “Please be advised that, effective immediately, Hunter Biden will no longer receive Secret Service protection.” Republicans figure this is what happens when you’ve got a guy like Trump who’s not afraid to call out the freeloaders.

The timing couldn’t be more perfect for regular folks like us watching this unfold. Earlier that day, a reporter asked Trump if he knew Hunter had 18 agents tailing him in South Africa—vacationing, of all things—and Trump’s eyebrow must’ve hit the ceiling. “I would say if there are 18 with Hunter Biden, that will be something I look at this afternoon,” he said, cool as you please—conservatives love it because he didn’t waste a minute getting on it.

Now, let’s talk about what this means for the average American paying taxes out there. Hunter’s been jetting around—South Africa this time—with a detail bigger than some small-town police forces, all on our dime—$150,000 a month, posts on X estimate. Trump’s not just saving cash—he’s sending a message: no more handouts for the Biden clan while folks struggle to fill their gas tanks.

The left’s going to cry foul, and you can bet they’ll spin it like Trump’s the bad guy. They’ll say it’s petty—same crowd that shrugged when Biden’s HHS lost 500,000 kids—but conservatives ask why Hunter needed 18 agents for a beach trip when Trump’s slashed crossings to 300 daily from 10,000 with 89 orders in 50 days. That’s real work—Hunter’s just baggage.

Here’s where it gets personal for you and me sitting at the kitchen table. Trump also cut Ashley Biden’s detail—13 agents—because the family’s been riding this perk too long. “Ashley Biden who has 13 agents will be taken off the list,” he wrote—Republicans figure it’s fair play since Biden extended it six months past his term.

The law backs him up, and that’s worth knowing about. Under 18 U.S. Code §3056, Secret Service protects ex-presidents’ kids only so long—Trump’s call here’s legal, posts on X note—conservatives say it’s why 82 percent approved his March 4 speech: he keeps promises, not cronies.

Biden’s crew left a mess—$216 billion trade gap with Europe last year—and Hunter’s detail was icing on that cake. “This is ridiculous!” Trump told reporters—Republicans bet he’s right—97 percent GOP approval shows folks want this cleaned up.

America’s seeing a guy who doesn’t play favorites with our money. Trump’s not just tweeting—he’s acting, and conservatives love it because it’s their cash he’s guarding. The Biden free ride’s over—time to pay the piper!
